I don't know what you are thinking about.
I'm talking about hair.
What did you think?
My hair isn't that long, but it's not that short either. It's pretty much right in between, but I googled buns for medium hair and there are videos that show/tell you how to do it. I watched one video several times and I have to admit I didn't know what the hell the girl was trying to tell me. I understood the words, but when I tried to do it, my hair didn't look anything like hers.
My friend Nicole has the most lovely hair. The color, the length, the thickness, the shiny-ness...it's just beautiful. Her hair is long and she wears it in lots of different ways. I blame her for the obsession I have with buns. Her hair looks so cute when she puts it up in various bun configurations.
I don't much skill in the hair department. It's like I missed out on the girl genes necessary to know what the heck to do with hair. When I was younger, I wanted to have hair like Dorothy Hamill. Do you remember her? The U.S. Olympic figure skater? She had awesome hair.
I begged my mom to let me get my hair cut like Dorothy's. She told me it would look terrible on me, but I insisted. Guess what it looked terrible.
Yep, that's me in 1976 with my Dorothy Hamill haircut and my Laverne, Shirley and Fonzie poster. Lizzie is an adorable 5 year old. That little black poodle is Tippi and I think I got that big red stuffed animal at the fair that year.
Oh sure, I was adorable, but the hair wasn't good. My hair had lots more wave to it than Dorothy's, so it didn't do that cool thing hers did when she spun around during her skating.
So cool!! Sadly, that wedge haircut did not work out for me, but it wasn't for lack of trying.
Anyway, the point of this story is that now my hair is a bit longer and I want to learn how to make a "messy bun".
I suppose like anything else, it will take trying and failing and trying again and again until I get it figured out. Wish me luck! And if you have any helpful tips, please comment. :)
